Anyhow, I view today's comic as a parable about good science. Just because something seems likely to be untrue doesn't mean you can rule out the possibility until you've put it to a thorough empirical test. That's why on the third Tuesday of every month I perform my comprehensive "Have I manifested superpowers this month" self-diagnostic. Because if I have super powers, I damned well better know about it. Incidentally, it's also the reason I check my shoes for spiders before I put them on. Every time.
I have to ask: what does your self-diagnostic involve?
